the output of show netloggin session is diplaying additional sessions

Question

Why does the output of the output of the "show netloggin session port " is displaying additional sessions the number of which sometimes exceeding the number of physical mac addresses behind port. For example the output below per port is displaying 4 session however there are only two mac addresses behind that port.

In case multiple types of authentication is being used for example 8021.x and mac then in the background the switch is originating separate radius access requires for each type of authentication. The local switch config however defines that one of those types is preferred in this example this was the "dot1x" authentication type, thus only those type of session are marked with "Session applied : true", other which are not preferred will be marked as "Session applied : false". If the end customer require to see only the session that are currently applied i.e. "Session applied : true" the the end customer should use the command: "show netloggin port".
